3. is it time to switch from Sass to native CSS?
An exciting article from CSS-Tricks sheds light on whether it's time to switch from Sass to native CSS. With features such as custom properties, native CSS nesting and the color-mix() function, modern CSS offers many features that were previously only possible with Sass. The author shares his 13-year journey with Sass and why he now often prefers native CSS for new projects.

4. friendship prices: A humorous reflection
In this tongue-in-cheek article, I take aim at the "friendly prices" that many freelancers and agencies are familiar with. My provocative thesis: friends should actually pay more, not less - out of solidarity! An entertaining text that makes you think about how we should value our work and separate friendship from business.
5. DDEV 1.24.8: What the update brings for developers
DDEV has released version 1.24.8, with important improvements for the local development environment. The new features include PHP-based add-ons, parallel Docker image pulls and support for private GitHub repositories.

Who writes here?
Hi, I am Wolfgang.
Since 2006, I've been diving deep into the fascinating world of TYPO3 - it's not only my profession, but also my passion. My path has taken me through countless projects, and I have created hundreds of professional video tutorials focusing on TYPO3 and its extensions. I love unraveling complex topics and turning them into easy-to-understand concepts, which is also reflected in my trainings and seminars.
As an active member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I am committed to keeping the TYPO3 CMS Certified Integrator exam questions current and challenging. Since January 2024, I am proud to be an official TYPO3 Consultant Partner!
But my passion doesn't end at the screen. When I'm not diving into the depths of TYPO3, you'll often find me on my bike, exploring the picturesque trails around Lake Constance. These outdoor excursions are my perfect balance - they keep my mind fresh and always provide me with new ideas.
